Tom Simpson was perhaps the greatest British cyclist of all time, with victories at the biggest bike races in the world; The Tour of Flanders, Milan-San Remo, and the World Championships, to name a few. A rival to Eddy Merckx, Simpson raced fast and, tragically, died young. Tom's nephew, Chris Sidwells, gets exclusive access to personal letters Simpson wrote home when he moved to France to race professionally. Along with interviews from friends like Barry Hoban, fans like Rapha's Simon Mottram, and fellow cycling greats like Sean 'The King' Kelly,, this is a fascinating insight into the character and career of one of the best British cyclists in history.
